Are you getting IIS 404s or CF 404s? If IIS, perhaps IIS has been set to
verify files?

Subject: Parsing URLs on IIS 4
Can anyone suggest what settings in IIS 4 / SP5 could cause problems with
slash-delimited query strings?
We use a well-known CF web hosting service for a client site. To improve
visibility
on search engines, we use slash-delimited query strings rather than the
standard
name=value pairs, and use the cgi.path_info variable to translate.
Late last week, the server began coughing on the slash-delimited query
strings. It
appears that the server believes the slashes indicate folders, and it gives
404 errors
whenever a slash-delimited URL query string is accessed.
We figured they had just installed SP6 or 6A, since members of this list had
variously suggested one or the other may cause such problems. The host,
however, says
the server is still using SP5.
